Well, there are less risks of errors retyping by hand than passing via an OCR. At least *you* know that everything you see are hex numbers, the OCR does not. Eventhough it's quite annoying to do that by hand, it generally takes less than 5 minutes to retype an oops, which is not that much. Of course, the serial cable to another machine to get a panic dump is the easiest solution ;-) Willy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
